Technical Ducator 2.3 JTD -Temperature Sensor

[Coulstock]

I've been investigating (and failing to resolve) the problem of the wandering engine temperature gauge. I've read up on the potential solutions ( disconnecting instrument connectors with ignition on) and tried them and although they seem to work for a short while (about 2 miles or so) the fault soon returns (usually full scale or zero indication ) . I've laso had the instrument cluster off and looked closely at earthing/bonding but to no avail.

So I need to rule out the sensor. There are 2 on the 2.3 JTD - 1 for the Engine Overtemp Warning (K036) and 1 for the instrument (K035) - so where is the instrument sensor fitted ??

Thanks

Possibly the same sensor performs both functions. ?

If its a 244 then theres definately 2...I burnt myself with boiling coolant with one few months back (same issue, fluctuating temp guage or only rising to certain temp)...think sensor was £30 odd
